In this post, I’ll be sharing some recently revealed details for three anime shows that are due to air in October: Two Car, Himouto! Umaru-chan R and Konohana Kitan.
We have a premiere date for Konohana Kitan, a new PV for Himouto! Umaru-chan R and additional cast and character descriptions for Two Car.Let’s start with the news concerning Konohana Kitan as announced on the official website: it will premiere on October 4th. There’s nothing else to say here, other than that I am looking forward to watching this one.

Next, the official website for the Himouto! Umaru-chan R anime began streaming a PV that focuses on Kirie Motoba. You can see it here:
Of course, Himouto! Umaru-chan R airs in October – though we don’t have a specific date just yet.

Finally, we have the main cast of Two Car revealed on the official website for Silver Link’s original anime.
The cast for Two Car are as follows:

Aoi Koga as Yuri Miyata

Yuri Miyata is the driver of Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School’s sidecar racing team, and one of the heroines of the anime. Her family runs a guesthouse called Akatsuki, and she her parents’ only daughter. Yuri is responsible, methodical, and takes herself very seriously. She has a keen eye for detail, and an unmatched driving sense. Yuri is prone to oversleeping. She also has a sweet tooth, and prides herself on her cooking.

Aimi Tanaka as Megumi Meguro

Megumi is the sidecar passenger of Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School’s sidecar racing team, and one of the heroines of the anime. Her family runs an inn called Mitsuwa, and she her parents’ only daughter. Megumi is bright and cheerful, with a boyish personality. Her intuition and reflexes are excellent. Studying is something she hates, and she would much rather eat than cook.

Ayaka Saito as Mutsuki Shimazu

Mutsuki is the mechanic of Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School’s sidecar racing team. She’s the type who prefers to work in the background, preferring to stay out of sight. She ends up drenched in sweat every day when she services Yuri and Megumi’s machine to ensure it is in top racing condition. Mutsuki is the mature and reserved type.

Sarah Emi Bridcutt as Chiyuki Shiohara

Chiyuki is the driver of Mie prefecture’s Suzuka Girls’ Academy sidecar racing team. She is an honours student who was raised as a well-to-do girl. Chiyuki recruited Misaki into the team as her partner. She is delicate and easily hurt. She can be wilful, though most of the time she is gentle and caring.

Haruka Tomatsu as Misaki Nagai

Misaki is the sidecar passenger of Mie prefecture’s Suzuka Girls’ Academy sidecar racing team. She was invited into the team by Chiyuki. Unlike Chiyuki she doesn’t come from a storied family, so she works part-time to support her family. Out of all her peers, she is considered most mature. She may appear hard to approach, but she shows her kind side to anyone she befriends.

Ayaka Nanase as Izumi Murata

Izumi is the driver from Ibaki prefecture’s Tsukuba Girls’ High School’s sidecar racing team. She is prideful and prone to selfishness – a queen-like personality. However, she does have concern for her passenger Nagisa.

Nagisa Suzuki

Nagisa is the passenger from Ibaki prefecture’s Tsukuba Girls’ High School’s sidecar racing team. In contrast to her childhood friend Izumi, she is timid and docile.

Aya Suzaki as Maria Shishido

Maria is from Tochigi prefecture’s Motegi Girls’ High School sidecar club. She is an older twin sister, and has a complex about how similar she is to her sister.

Aya Suzaki as Yuria Shishido

Yuria is from Tochigi prefecture’s Motegi Girls’ High School sidecar club. She is a younger twin sister, and she too has a complex about how similar the pair are.

Ayaka Shimizu as Kanae Kawamata

Kanae is the driver from Osaka’s Ikoma Girls’ High School sidecar racing team. With her bold personality, she puts her all into races. She seems like the type that doesn’t listen when someone is talking, but she is able to give out good advice when consulted.

Arisa Morishima as Tamae Kuribayashi

Tamae is the passenger from Osaka’s Ikoma Girls’ High School sidecar racing team. She has a bright and laid-back personality, though she can be an airhead. She gets frustrated easily when playing the straight man to Kanae.

Arisa Shida as Mao Katakura

Mao is the driver from Hyogo prefecture’s Takacho Girls’ Academy sidecar club. Her elegance has gained her a lot of female fans.

Ayahi Takagaki as Hitomi Iseki

Hitomi is the passenger of Hyogo prefecture’s Takacho Girls’ Academy sidecar club. She is a polite, sweet and mature mood-setter.

Maya Yoshioka as Arisu Yamano

Arisu is the driver from Kyoto’s Amagase Girls’ Academy sidecar club. She has a gothic-lolita style with pigtails.

Yumiri Hanamori as Kurosu Ito

Kurosu is the passenger from Kyoto’s Amagase Girls’ Academy sidecar club. She has a gothic-lolita style and short haircut.

Sora Tokui as Ai Maita

Ai is from the Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School broadcasting club. She is normally lethargic, but that changes as soon as she has a microphone in hand. She will not be parted from her microphone until the broadcast is over.

Mana Hirata as Nene Itagaki

Nene is from the Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School broadcasting club. She is a positive girl who does things at her own pace. She wants to be an announcer in the future, preferably on a food show.

Sakura Nakamura as Hibari Takada

Hibari is from the Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School journalism club. She runs around with her camera and reports on her upperclassmen Yuri and Megumi.

Maria Naganawa as Tsumugi Nakajima

Tsugumi is from the Tokyo Metropolitan Miyake Girls’ High School journalism club. She operates a drone to collect data on races. She is also a YouTuber.

In addition to the above, the cast will also include three more members:
– Shinichiro Miki as Coach Tanabashi
– Hitomi Nabatame as Hatsune Wada
– Emiko Takeuchi as Yoko Higurashi

Whew, that was a lot more characters than I had expected. Still, knowing the cast has only increased my excitement for Two Car. It will premiere on October 7th.

So there have it, a few more details for some of the anime I intend to watch during the upcoming autumn season. I will post about all of the shows I intend to watch, but that will probably be during the latter half of September.
